Most people want to be in the moment.

WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT CAPTURING IT.

Your wedding day goes by in a heartbeat — and the truth is, you deserve to live every second of it fully present.
No posing. No stressing. No wondering if the memories will look as beautiful as they feel. 

I believe your photographs should be more than just images — they should be time capsules of laughter, tears, and joy. My job is to quietly preserve it all while you focus on celebrating the start of your next chapter.

You want to be fully present on your wedding day

But you’re not sure how to do that without missing a moment.

You’re worried the photos won’t reflect how magical the day truly felt

And you want peace of mind knowing they will.

You want to feel relaxed, connected, and free to enjoy every second

without thinking twice about the camera.

Let me take care of the story, so you
can live the story.

I can create this outcome for you.

I believe in helping couples stay fully present on their wedding day — and still have every beautiful moment documented with care and intention.

I know what it’s like to want everything to be perfect. To dream of a day that feels joyful, effortless, and deeply meaningful — and to worry that it might slip by too quickly. That’s exactly why I do what I do.

With years of experience capturing weddings of all kinds, I’ve learned that the best photographs don’t happen by chance. They happen when you have someone who sees the little moments before they unfold — the way your partner looks at you when no one else is watching, the tear your mom wipes away, the laughter shared between friends.

My approach is calm, unobtrusive, and deeply intentional. I focus on building a connection with you before the wedding day, so when the day arrives, you feel relaxed and free to simply be yourselves — knowing I’m there to preserve it all exactly as it happens.

This is how I turn fleeting moments into timeless memories — and how your story becomes a legacy you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

THIS IS WHY I’VE PUT TOGETHER

The Wedding Experience

If you’re someone who values real moments, heartfelt connections, and timeless imagery — this experience was created for you.

This isn’t just about taking photos. It’s about crafting an experience that allows you to live your day without worry, knowing that every smile, tear, and detail is being preserved with care and artistry. From our first conversation to the final delivery of your heirloom album, my goal is to make this journey seamless, meaningful, and deeply personal.

Imagine looking back on your wedding day one year from now — not just remembering how it looked, but feeling it all over again. The laughter, the happy tears, the way your partner’s hand felt in yours. That’s what this service is built to do: to give you a collection of memories that grow more valuable with time.

If you want a stress-free experience, breathtaking imagery, and a story that’s told beautifully from beginning to end — this is for you.

LET’S CONNECT

The images were so raw and beautiful. Everything we could have wanted.

    We had the pleasure of working with Jarot and his wife, Jen on our March 12 wedding! We can not thank them enough for everything they’ve done for us. When you work with Jarot he really takes the time to get to know you and is always so easily reachable. He captured the most special moments on our big day and we’re absolutely obsessed with all of our pictures. We can’t thank Jarot and his team enough for all they did for us on our wedding day AND leading up to our big day.

    MONICA + NATE

    He has always been AMAZING!!! He tells you how to pose, he tells you every single movement you should do to make the perfect photo, and believe me, all the photos are perfect. He takes the time with every picture. He does not care about rolling in dirt, just to get the perfect picture. He gives that extra mile for his clients! If you are thinking about hiring him to do your photos, do not think more. He is the man!!!

    ARIANA + JOHN

    We had the pleasure of getting to work with Jarot and Jenn at our wedding in January 2021 and again at our postponed reception on October 1, 2021. There are not enough words to express how wonderful Jarot and Jenn are. They are so dedicated to their couples and give you nothing but the absolute best. They pay an incredible amount of attention to the little details that mean so much to couples. They are super fun, easy going, and easy to communicate and get along with. It can be uncomfortable to have a camera in your face all day but they truly do make it easy. I wish we could get married again so we can re-hire them! If you are looking for a team to capture your day in the most magical way and ensure that you are comfortable the entire time, look no further.

    When we look back on our wedding photos we will always think back to what a great time we had thanks to them!

    GOT SOME QUESTIONS?

    Our goal and passion has and will always be to capture your wedding day in an elegance and original way. To catch those beautiful moments between a bride and a groom throughout their very special day starting from the details of the bridal prep to those fun dancing moments (when all the stress of the day is over!)

    We treasure romance, It is a quality that makes your day unique!

    All of the images. We don’t select just our favorite photographs to digitally enhance, we digitally enhance every image to make them look their best because that is what we would want ourselves.

    Professional photo retouching refers to the type of photo manipulation you are most likely to see in magazine covers. In retouching, a professional photoshop technician may remove wrinkles, acne, scars, reshape waist lines, whiten teeth or other major manipulations to the photo. Retouching is very expensive and very time consuming (We offer this service per image). Retouching is different than digital enhancements. Digital enhancements are adjustments to a photo’s color temperature, exposure, highlights, shadows, contrast and color profiles to massage the image into looking like the photographer’s intention when taking the photograph.

    We believe the best way to get the most out of your investment in your wedding photography is based around your wedding day photo timeline. Good photography depends on good light, and good lighting depends on timing. We would love to meet with you, even if it’s over FaceTime or Skype, to help you develop a photo timeline so you can get the best photographs possible. After we have met and walked through your vision of your wedding day together, we will be able to make an hour recommendation based around your specific wedding day timeline.

    We always recommend Two and now all of our collections include two photographers so we got you covered!, because your wedding is full of one time moments. Having more photographers on your wedding day allows us to cover more angles and cover more moments. That is important, especially on a wedding day where events and moments only happen once. Click here to learn more about us.

    We actually prefer planning out the schedule together. With all the different weddings we’ve experienced, we can help you navigate some of the more difficult parts on your timeline, and together we can figure out a schedule that helps you enjoy the most out of your wedding, while also ensuring that you get all the pictures you wanted!

    YES, we offer a variety of wedding albums in different sizes. Additional pages, premium materials, and parent albums can also be added or ordered a la carte.

    Let’s create magic.
